SAFETY RULES
1
1. Before you begin installing the fan, shut power off at the circuit breaker of the fuse box.
2. Be cautious! Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review accompanying assembly diagrams.
3. Make sure that all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, or National Electrical Codes. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a
do-it-yourself wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
4. Make sure the installation site you choose allows the fan blades to rotate without any obstructions. Allow a minimum clearance of 7 feet from the
floor and 18 inches from the tip of the blades to the wall.
5. If you are mounting the fan to a ceiling fan outlet box, use a U.L. Listed metal octagonal outlet box marked "Acceptable for Fan Support". Secure the
box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 50 pounds) Do
not use a plastic box.
6. CAUTION:
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of injury use only the screws provided with the outlet box in conjunction with the lock washers provided with the fan.
7. If you are mounting the fan to a joist, make sure it is able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 50 pounds).
8. After you install the fan, make sure that all mounting components are secured to prevent the fan from falling.
9. Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating.
10. Turn the fan off and wait for the blades to stop completely before performing any maintenance or cleaning. SUITABLE FOR USE IN
WET LOCATIONS

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR OTHER PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT FAN ONLY TO A U.L. LISTED OUTLET BOX OR SUPPORTING SYSTEM MARKED
ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT AND USE MOUNTING SCREWS PROVIDED WITH THE OUTLET BOX IN CONJUCTION WITH THE LOCK WASHERS PROVIDED WITH
THE FAN. MOST OUTLET BOXES COMMONLY USED FOR FAN SUPPORT OF LIGHTING FIXTURES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT AND NEED TO BE
REPLACED. CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IF IN DOUBT.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE BLADE HOLDERS WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT
INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRONIC SHOCK, THIS FAN CAN ONLY USE AL158-RM351HF70001 SOLID-STATE SPEED CONTROL WITH
RC1000 REMOTE CONTROL ONLY

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING:
WARNING:
To avoid possible electrical shock be sure electricity is
turned off at the main fuse or breaker box before wiring.
NOTE:
NOTE:
The Aire Control
®
System is equipped with a learning frequency
function which has 1024 code combinations to prevent potential
interference from other remote units. The frequency on your Transmitter
units have been preset at the factory. (Fig. 2) No frequency change is
necessary, should you desire to install another fan within the same
home or area with a seperate frequency code please see the "frequency
interference" troubleshooting section of this instruction manual to learn
how to change the frequency.
NOTE:
NOTE:
fan must be installed from a maximum distance of 40 feet from
the transmitting unit for proper signal transmission between the
transmitting unit and the fan's receiving unit.
Step 1. Motor to receiver electrical connections: Be sure to snap together
the 2-PIN, 4-PIN connectors and sansor wire connector from the receiver
and fan. (Fig. 3 & 4)
Step 2. Receiver to house supply wires electrical connections: connect
the white wire (neutral) from the outlet box to the white wire marked
"AC in N" from the receiver. Connect the black wire (hot) from the outlet
box to the black wire marked "AC in L" from the receiver. Secure all wire
connections with the plastic wire nuts provided. (Fig. 3 & 4)
Step 3. If your outlet box has a ground wire (green or bare copper)
connect this wire to the mounting bracket and receiver ground wires. If
your outlet box does not have a ground wire, then connect the mounting
bracket and receiver ground wires together. Secure wire connection with
the plastic wire nut provided. (Fig. 4)
After all splices are made, check to make sure there are no loose strands.
As an additional precaution we suggest to secure the plastic wire
connectors to the wires with electrical tape.

THE FOLLOWING OPERATION MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED BEFORE INSTALLING THE GLASS
SHADE.
Step 1. Insert the blades into the motor housing blade slots, push blade until it stops. You should
be able to hear the inside safety pin drop into the blade hole to secure the blade in place. (Fig. 6)
CAUTION:
CAUTION:
Re-check each blade to make sure all blades are secured to the motor by holding the
blade from the tip and gently pulling it outwards. The blades should be snug to the motor housing
without any up, down or sideways play.
All blade sets are grouped by weight. Because plastic injection varies in density, the fan may
wobble even though the blades are weight matched.
BLADE REMOVAL
BLADE REMOVAL
In the event that the blades need to be removed, use the blade removal tool included with your
fan. Remove the rubber plug first, then remove the blades by pulling the safety pin via the
opening above the blade in the motor housing as shown and replace the rubber plug. (Fig. 7)

will be non-function.
NOTE:
NOTE:
The learning frequency function and self
calibration test will continue to retain the last
set frequency and calibration set even when the
AC power is shut off. If the frequency is changed
the self calibration test will occur again.
1. Lock position: The DC motor has a built-in
safety against obstruction during operation. The
motor will get locked operation and disconnect
power after 30 seconds if interruption occurs.
Please remove obstacles before re-set.
2. Over 80W protection: When the receiver
detects motor power consumption which is
greater than 80W, the receiver’ s power will stop
and operation will be immediately discontinued.
Turn the receiver power on after 5 seconds.

WINTER OPERATION
(CLOCKWISE DIRECTION)
SUMMER OPERATION
(COUNTERCLOCKWISE DIRECTION)
Speed settings for warm or cold weather
depend on factors such as room size, ceiling
height and number of fans.
NOTE:
NOTE:
Wait for the fan to stop before reversing
the direction of the blade rotation.
Warm Weather (forward)
A DOWNWARD airflow creates a cooling effect
as shown in Figure 11. This allows you to set
your air conditioner on a warmer setting
without affecting your comfort.
Cool Weather (Reverse)
An UPWARD airflow moves warmer air off the
ceiling area as shown in Figure 12. This allows
you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting
without affecting your comfort.
